So I noticed that there was some old gauze bandage material collecting dust in the medicine cabinet that hadn't been used in years and rather than just throw it out I wondered if it would work as an application material for wax. Sometimes you buy the stuff to have it on hand and it never gets used.
Results were good. I was truly amazed the gauze bandage material worked as well as it did. And it was great for narrow crevices and hard to reach areas where a bigger rag may not be so great.
But don't take my word for it.
That said, if you decide you want to give it a go, and have some old stuff sitting around doing nobody any good, I suggest it's worth a try. I've used it on my Zuma, Suzuki Bandit, and XMax so far and no complaints. I tested it on the Suzuki tank, wheels, panels, handlebars, mirror stalks, and more.
One thing I did notice was that as the wax was being applied to the surfaces the gauze seemed to get dryer . . . like it was letting the wax release. Yes, the gauze will get dirty as you go along but just cut off another piece and keep on going. Doing a thorough cleaning/washing of the machine first is always best.
Anyhow, just thought I'd throw that out as a way to make use of something that would otherwise just be wastefully discarded.
Here's a pic of the wax and polish I use . . ..
And the gauze material. Sometimes it comes in larger sizes like if you had a surgery or something done in the past and plenty was leftover.
